How to Create a Beach Themed Shadow Box for Shells - with Creative Embellishments and Buttons Galore

Turn an average shadow box into a treasured memory keeping Shaker Shadow Box

I love the beach.   It's a peaceful place for me and a theme I use in my crafting quite often. 

Creative Embellishments has the most wonderful chipboard designs for beach and sea related projects. 

I bought an inexpensive wooden shadow box and thought I would alter it and make my own personal beach.    I have a "before" image below. 

I grabbed a few of my favorite pieces from Creative Embellishments beach  designs and lightly dabbed them with acrylic paint.

This piece of home decor has a bit of a twist because  I turned it into a shaker to hold sequin shaker mix, but to also hold some of the tiny shells found on the Caribbean Islands from a recent cruise vacation. 

The shaker mix is from 28 Lilac Lane /Buttons Galore and More's sequins and Beads collection.

This is Aqua Dreams LL690 

The outside edge of the box was covered with some rope to hide the edges of the  acrylic shaker window.  Sometimes you have to get crafty to hide the rough edges.  

Thanks for stopping.
